Lawn Care Made Easy in Cambridge

Known as the home of Harvard University and MIT, Cambridge is much more than a college town. Just across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge offers an urban feel. Sure, we have bars, restaurants and coffee shops, but we also have plenty of parks and opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

You can spend a lifetime exploring all the historic landmarks in this city. The Longfellow House - Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site preserves the home of poet Henry Longfellow. The house was also the headquarters for General George Washington during the Siege of Boston in 1775. The house opens in May of each year and offers you a chance to explore 19th-century literature and arts as well as history.

The Old Cambridge private walking tour takes you through the historic homes of revolutionaries, writers, and poets. The National Parks Service runs the tour with guides dressed in Victorian Era costumes. The journey takes you to the Cambridge Common (where there’s a playground for the kids,) Christ Church and the Old Burial Ground in Harvard Square.

After the tour, stop by Brattle Square and visit the mom & pop shops that make this a favorite for Harvard and MIT students. Visit the Iconic Out of Town News shop on Harvard Square. This newsstand is stacked from floor to ceiling with newspapers and magazines from around the world.

Looking for the perfect place for a stroll or morning jog? The paths along the Charles River on Memorial Drive won’t disappoint. The scenery is amazing and great for taking a selfie. You’ll also find several playgrounds and parks along the route and benches. The Hatch Memorial Shell features live concerts throughout the summer.

Are you having trouble finding time to explore these attractions, and everything else Cambridge has to offer? Consider outsourcing some of your least favorite chores to LawnStarter.

the best service possible.

Excellent job in a timely manner. Roger and crew were fantastic. My house was under contact to be sold and I found out four days before all the inspections were to be done that the Yard had been left unattended for over a month. I live six hours away. Roger and crew bailed me out. What a blessing they have been.

Front yard looks good. We have a dog, and can't leave the gate open all day for the backyard to be mowed (the gate is latched, but not locked). I'll make sure it's unlatched next time we go out during a planned mowing day. If it's possible to let us know ahead which day you will be coming (out of the two possibilities), that would help us plan better.
